How It Work
Havahart® Spray Away Elite Sprinkler Repellent provides an innovative, humane way
to keep unwanted animals out of your yard and garden. Sensing animals of all sizes,
Spray Away Elite provides an environmentally-friendly and safe alternative to chemical
repellents and electric fences. Spray Away Elite uses an infrared sensor to detect the
animal, and then deploys a burst of water combined with unexpected noise and motion
to create a safe and effective deterrent.
Best of all, Spray Away Elite does not use an attached garden hose – making it portable
and easy to use! Instead of a hose, it utilizes a water basin that holds 3.5 gallons of
water and lasts for approximately 35 activations.
Spray Away Elite is powerful enough to protect up to 1000 square feet while detecting
motion 35 feet in front of the unit. Whether you have a deer or rabbit snacking on plants,
or a heron stealing fish from your pond, the versatile Spray Away Elite will condition
these critters to find lunch elsewhere!
